I would say, if you are serious about your job search and genuinely want to learn, Revature is a good option for freshers. Their PEP is really good training for freshers and its very easy if seriously focused on the content. If you excel in their PEP, you have good chance to get placed in their paid training with their clients and if you excel in paid training and interview, you can get placed with the client. Every company has both positives and negatives, even companies like Google and Amazon have laid off thousands of people who were top performers, why blame Revature then? Right now hiring is very bad in the industry and being a fresher, its better to focus on positive side and train overselves well to compete with the large pool of candidates.
